      Pros

      It's a great company, and great for your resume. The opportunity to do something with lots of impact is fantastic. Great pay and benefits. Lots of smart people from all over. Company picnic is also great for the family. Some teams have too much process. The entertainment team, where I work, is pretty good. It's great to start your career here, work for 5 years or so, and go off to start your business.

      Cons

      Some managers are not so good, and should be IC's. Benefits have declined over the years. Recession has hit some teams pretty hard. The Christmas party for my team was canceled.

      Pros

      good pay - great benefit - good work life balance. culture to share knowledge is excellent. I worked at MSFT for 6 years and loved it. I would work there again in a heartbeat. Very relaxed environment with focus on getting the job done right rather than management crap. You are rewarded for your hard work and ability to change culture, products, and customer experience at Microsoft. Annual cash and stock bonuses provide motivation to work hard. Ability to tele-commute or work from home is excellent. Microsoft please get that stock back up in this economic rough spot. Please! Please!

      Cons

      none - lots of travel in consulting field

      Pros

      Massive brand name recognition. Lots of learning opportunities, challenging projects, brilliant co-workers and of course a resume builder. The breadth of opportunities at Microsoft is unparalleled. From Operating Systems, Compilers/IDE's, Games, Hardware, Web Services, Office tools these guys have done it all. There is something for everyone there. Also the benefits are really good as compared to others.

      Cons

      Lots of competition. The developer interns have to be really good to be noticed by senior employees. You are expected to work long hours. Since I have not worked there for very long I have not felt any other downsides.
